A population with finite resources shows a logistic growth curve where the correct sequence of events will be :
Topic: NEET PYQ
Answer: C. Full step-by-step solution below.
- AAcceleration phase → Deceleration → Asymptote
- BAcceleration phase → Lag phase → Stationary phase
- CLag phase → Acceleration phase → Deceleration → Asymptote
- DStationary phase → Acceleration phase → Lag phase → Asymptote
Correct answer: C
Solution
(c) A logistic (S-shaped) growth curve shows:Lag phase – slow growth initially.
Acceleration (log) phase – rapid growth.
Deceleration phase – growth slows as resources become limiting.
Asymptote (stationary phase) – population reaches carrying capacity (K).
